Election Updates
Ran into an issue with the community chair positions, but Leah was able to figure things out
Community chair candidates had to rework their campaigns – all is good now
Elections are going to finish on Friday, which means first-years do not get to emcee Kaffeehaus
Fourth-years (specifically Josh and someone else) emcee this time, and then tag team with first-years next Kaffeehaus
2 candidate teams for community chairs, and a couple of first-year candidates
INTERRUPTED BY FLY-LIZARD

Communications

Divestment and Banking
General Conversation
Motion for SASS to divest from the “Big 5” Canadian Banks
If this is a goal that we are interested in, we can begin this year and have it continue next year
Comments
Concern: Could be something that we pass, and not actually follow through with because of frequent switches of power
Can draft a motion and get it through to Arts and Science SRA, and Rushan can bring it up to the caucus for collaboration and support
Do we want to get other student groups involved? Possible yes.
Clarification: Does SASS have its own bank account? Yes, we do. But all the money we get is from the MSU.
Will need to figure out how to do this operationally; through negotiations with MSU (Ahastan, Leah, Rushan, and Emily)
Will this be added to the Constitution? Maybe. SASS has no by-laws
If in the Constitution, may be more permanent and “official”
Will not be added to the Constitution until all details are figured out, and if it works out well for us this year
Need to have a meeting with MSU about logistics
Committee of a few people; Ahastan, Leah, and SRA people, Arthy, Avery
Emily – SRA people reached out to MSU to talked to VP Finance
VP Finance – office hours this Wednesday 3:30 to 4:30
Avery, Ahastan, and Rushan (maybe Emily) can make it. A good way to figure out logistics, and then text details to group chat!
How can we do this:
Have a part of the constitution with the unfilled projects and purposes and may be have this a part of it
Amending formula; ⅔ of people can vote on if they would like this change (next General Meeting)
For now, it will be our year's goal
Will bring it up as a permanent year goal next Gen. Meeting
Possible Milk and Cookies/Visions events to discuss the logistics
Or possibly another event ran by VP Functions
OR SRA office hour x SASS collaboration to inform (similar to SRA Info Night)
